Infoseite // Leveling tripods for photo



Frage von gescha:


Many videographers use the photo as a video tripod stands. Actually, there is no objection against for light camcorders, as long as they are synonymous Tripods stable enough for use camcorder. A problem arises immediately out of photo tripods. It quite simply lack the possibility of a precise leveling "to bring into the water", ie the horizontal alignment of the camcorder.
With photo tripods are made of these must be compensated via the leg extension.
This is my opinion, an annoying fumbling s.den tripod legs synonymous Here might be a risk that tilts the entire camcorder and tripod, together with damage. Real video tripods are with a spherical shell and ball fitted for leveling.
But there is a very simple solution to remedy this shortcoming in photo stands on. Both are at the company Linhof (Linhof leveler 77-3/8, Weight 550 gr) as synonymous with Manfrotto there is adequate Nivellierköpfe mounted between the tripod support and tilt head.
The Tilt Head Manfrotto MA 438 weighs approximately 450 grams, and is with a spirit level (level bubble bear). The adjustment is + / - 10 °, the price about 85 ¬. This leveler MA 438 can be used on any tripod in which the ball head Nodder or can be removed. It is designed for 3 / 8 "thread. If only the tripod with a ¼ "screw to be fitted, which is synonymous not a problem. For the adjustment of threaded ¼ "to 3 / 8" in the photo is a so-called trade Übergewinde brass, 5 or 9 mm long, is available. With this adapter, the aforementioned problem can, should it exist, will be resolved.
Photo Tripod with a Manfrotto tilt head 435 MA can be used like real video tripods. Also be placed in the uneven terrain can tilt head using the camcorder with a handle "into the water." One should not just make a mistake and used in filming the extended center column. Thus an otherwise stable tripod is unstable, which shows itself in the PAN very disadvantageous.
On mountain tours, I've always had a Manfrotto 190B, Manfrotto tilt head Professional Tripad with MA and the Manfrotto 438 Pro Video Neiger MA 503 in a backpack. This stand was perfectly suited for the compilation SonyDCR.TRV900E camcorder. But not for a SonyVX-2100/PD170 or Canon XL-2.
Heavier camcorder require more stable (larger and heavier synonymous) Tripods. In general, this video is no longer synonymous stands can be placed in a backpack.

Hello,

Camera tripods are suitable for video recordings only as long as you do not waving. Once you move the camcorder can be seen at the scenes of the lack of cushioning. ;-)

The waters of tripods is the length of the legs at first be unfamiliar, but with a little practice can do it almost as fast as for professional solutions.

Mark, what have you for a camcorder? The article is still of photo tripod for small camcorders and from there provides another Videoneigekopf of Manfrotto 503rd What is the tilt head would you recommend then? Do you think that the MA 503 does not have enough cushioning.
"The waters of tripods is the length of the legs at first unfamiliar, but with a little practice can do it almost as fast as for professional solutions." I think what succeeds with his legs, succeeded synonymous with an MA 503rd Incidentally, the MA has 503 installed, according to Manufacturer an automatic scene damper.
No offense, but one should not constantly change his opinion. Other items of tell you exactly the opposite. Da Camera tripods are regarded as suitable. The MA 503 is highly praised. That there are stable synonymous Camera tripods, (not only for Manfrotto) is likely to have spread so slowly. Beginners like me, are confused by this article only. Should I for my Canon MV 800 is a professional stand buy about 20 times heavier than my camcorder. From the price we will not speak at all. About the forum I wanted to come to a good decision. But how am I supposed to finally decide? Einman "Hi" and even "HOT"!

Hi Hans,

You see, the point with the Manfrotto head, I had skipped. (Sorry). Camera tripod at the notion I had these cheap Hama Tripods before his eyes, which is really not very suitable for video recordings. ;-)

Now it made sense again, right? I wanted you (or confuse other readers) do not.

Hi Mark,

filmmakers who would buy for a cheap -30 to 60 ¬ expensive - Tripod leveling one for about 90 ¬ and an MA 503 for about 290 ¬.

Maybe not in this forum aware that there are synonymous high-quality photo tripod, which can offer each MA 525 forehead. Certainly a lot of photographers (camera) are switched in and out of the filming Lichtbildnerzeit they still have high-quality photo tripods. What kind of professional photographers use tripods for their medium format and large cameras. Tripods for such an additional leveling is really a good solution. The article in question in my opinion should synonymous only show the possibility of such high quality photo tripods can be made suitable for filming.

Hi Mark,

And what we learn from your post of 28.02.06. It should be read completely before your review to form an opinion, and only then respond. For such contributions are no help. They confuse beginners who want to just form their own opinions and are therefore synonymous rely on good advice in the forum.

Hello you two,
